When your brakes need a look
Brakes wear a little every day, so the signs build slowly. Book a brake check if you notice any of these:
- Squealing when you brake. Many pads have a small metal tab that squeals when they are getting thin.
- Grinding. Usually the pad material is gone and it is metal on metal, which wears out the rotors fast. Don't wait on this one.
- A shaking pedal or steering wheel when you stop. Often a sign of uneven rotors.
- A soft or sinking pedal, or the car pulling to one side. It can point to the fluid, a hose, or a sticking caliper.
- The brake warning light is on, or the car failed its Maryland State Inspection on brakes.
